DELUDED.

Happy Is he who hears. with brow elate,
Above the tumult of tn unheeding throng.
The plaudits OF the Future. clear and strong,
Down the long centuries reverberate.
Though aforementioned be his common fate;
Content to leave a heritage of song
To after ages who can do no wrong;
Content, though never gained, Fame's crown to
wait.
Dupe of his dreams, whnt matter IL not his,
Dim In the crimson gold and purple gloom
or some cathedral vast, that honored tomb
Whose stones the pilgrim nations kneellng kissY
Slumbers he not less sound though overheard
on a forgotten mound the grasses spread.

Cancer is essentially a local disease and
can be cured by operation, in spite of re-
currence. Operation, when it does not
cure prolongs life and diminishes the
total amount of suffering. Operations
should be repeated as often as there is
any chance of entirely removing recur-
rent growths. The earlier and the more
thoroughly the operation is performed the
better. The disease, when it recurs, is
generally of a milder type than that of
the original growth, less painful and less
e1hausting. Antiseptc surgery makes
more radical operations possible, with bet
ter ultimate results than formerly OBJ
tained.-Dr. Shrady inf Medical Record.

TO HANG

The day Of grace and executive
clemency has petered out. Poor
Spade Sunshine, falsely solaced by
respites and made TO hope that
there was some sunshine for him
yet, is to hang. Next Friday is
fixed for his execution. 1t may be
right that he sh ould hang, but
somehow the general belief has
been that he would be pardoned,
or that his sentence would be coin
muted to imprisonment for a few
years, anyhow. We always ex-
pect such events as we are used TO,
but hanging is the least Of our ex-
pectations.
Consideration fthe application
Of Mrs. Fields was postponed until
a future time. TO hang a man is
bad enough, but when it comes to
a woman there surely can be found
some excuse for the exercise of
mercy.

IN REGARD TO A CONTEST.
To contest the election OF Mayes to
the chieitaincy cannot be intend
ed by the National party because
by so doing the chances for putting
in Bunch would be too uncertain.
The law requires a petition, sign
cd by a hundred electors, to con
test the election of chief, and the
Office declared vacant by an act Of
the national council, when the
acting principal chief shall within
five days thereafter issue his proc
lamation for new election for
chief. This course as said before,
is too uncertain, and there is a
dead certainty that Mayes would
beat Bunch further than at first.
The plan, if there is any such
will be to count Mayes
out and Bunch in, when the count
is made up, the National party
having, as they claim, a majority
in both houses. Having organiz-
ed by electing the president of the
senate and speaker of the council
from their number, they could ar
bitrarily throw out enough of
Mayes' votes to sect Bunch. This,
though, surely will not be attempt
ed, because trouble might be the

BREAKERS AHEAD.

III there is any reliance to be
placed in rumors, that more or less
seem true, as to the intention Of
some Of the leaders of the Nation
al party to count Mayes out and
Bunch in, right or wrong, next
November, there are alarming
breakers before our canoe of state
that may dash it to pieces. Our
existence as n nation depends
much upon our own good behavior
good government managed by
ourselves, contentment of citizens
and cheerful submission to majori-
ty rule. Nothing but these, under
!be present discontented and ex-
perimental management Of Indian
affairs, will save us as a nation.
The government of the United
States seemingly prefers that the
Indian himself shall solve the
problem as to the best and quck-
est way he can be made entirely
self-supporting by his own indus
try and enterprise aud be enabled
to take care of himself, let his sur
r1undings be what they may. As
long as there are evident and live
ly tendencies in this direction, the
government is satisfied to "let
good enough alone" and to give
encouragement by simply witness
ing the efforts that arc being made.
It may be held by some that the
government Of the United States
has no right to interfere in our
s'1attars whether. thev arc nencea-
bic or not. But this is mistake
As an uncomfortable and unavoida-
bic consequence, owing to the fact
that we are surrounded on all
sides by states and territories Of
the United Statos, densely popu-
lated by a people restless as the
sea and impatient Of restraint, the
government, creature Of the peo-
pie, shaped and by them directed,
must protect its citizens who are |
here by thousands, in case of dan
ger TO them and their interests. |
This is not only a cause for inter
ference, but as obligated by trea.
Iy, the government of the United |
States is bound to protect the ma
lion "against domestic feuds and
instructions, and against hostili-
lies of other tribes" That the
United States will interfere in our
affairs, in case OF domestic feuds,
brought about by a reckless ambi-
ion to rule or ruin, there can be
10 doubt. Excuse being given,
'ther measures may follow, and
hose who would reign become
ubjects OF another government.
No party can honorably submit
o a wrong or to the domineering
pirit Of another party who, with
ut any legal right or authority,
fould force submission to their
Till. Those who contemplate
iolence in determining who shall

re enough good and prudent men
n either party who will see that
he law has its course-men who
gill not sit still and see maddened
ambition jeopardize their peace
nd welfare.
